Here's the "build thread" for the British Panther B(I).4 entry for the Falklands GB.  As you can see, it was essentially a brand new aircraft from the Martin B-51 Panther.





































Let me know if there are any questions about any stage of the process.

Cheers,

Logan

Here's some close-up shots of the aircraft, including some of the details Talos and I made specifically for this aircraft.











Cheers,

Logan

I love the change to the canopy and the new nacelle contours. What does she have under the hood?

That certainly is one ungainly looking beast but you made her look nice!  Good job man, I especially like the hastily applied camo on the AGM-88s  8)

PS, fix your Photobucket links.  I'm seeing a lot of "this image has been moved..." boxes.
